• Lion City - 60 years on

    1 Mei 2024, Singapura ⋅ ☁️ 33 °C

    I feel privileged to be flying to Singapore on May Day 2024. I have planned this for a while and am excited! I extended the trip a day or so so I could share some time with Kerry as she transits through to Milan. Looking forward to catching up with her! Upstairs on QF1 - A full flight but Premium Economy has a lot to like for a day time trip. Very spacious and great service. Lots of charging ports, footrests and places to store stuff. I had forgotten how smooth and quiet an A380 is. Bottled wine served throughout - all in all a similar experience to what domestic business used to be - back in the day! A welcome glass of my fave Lois Lane and then a classy WA syrah. The meal was very much (again) like BC used to be. They had run out of my Singapore option so I had slow cooked lamb with polenta - ok but needed a lot of seasoning. There was also (not shown) - cheese and crackers plus icecream. I didn't take the icecream but a very generous selection. Arrived 30 mins late but the getting through Changi to the cab was done in record time. I think I was in the cab while people were still getting off QF1! So long as the online ICA card is done there are no forms anymore and there are (I kid you not) 100s of passport kiosks in immigration. It was stormy and very wet overnight but a fine Singapore morning. Had a wonderful Singapore brekkie with my old friends at the Bersah Food Centre. A bit to do this morning (supplies/pool) then off to Changi to meet Kerry and spend a few hours with her in the Lion City. I think my daily post will now be in the morning so - here it is!Baca selengkapnya
